  • i loved watching this live ^^ first show i have ever went to ^^

  • @runwiththepack , Thanks! It was the first time I had ever performed veil poi. I was pretty scared...it was so cool that it went mostly well and the audience was so loving that night.

  • are the veils smaller or shorter than the normal bellydance veils? i can do basic poi and i can do rather advanced veil....i have beeb "playing" trying to figure this out

  • these are 1/2 circle veils from A'kai silks. These are the big ones. The smaller circles are easier to learn on. The secret is "weighting" your poi with something. In this video, mine were weighted with a heavy pair of zills. Warning: it really hurts it you hit yourself...you can do some damage. Be careful and I'd recommend finding something w/o edges instead. I thought I broke my leg at one point while practicing!

  • Melissa, please contact me at akaisilksinfo@yahoo.com how have you been?

  • This dance is so amazing that it inspired me to buy my own set of poi and veils from jessenia. My only question is how did you tie the veils to the poi so that the veils fully extend?

  • Beautiful dance!!! And great music!

  • hi! super!!!

    wheare you by this viel poi?

  • @UrbanAmericanGypsy Gorgeous! I had zills in mine for a while too, until i got myself in the knee so bad i couldn't walk for two days. I found a small yet weighty bean bag that is a little less painful when I get myself with it (usually happens when outdoors and contending with wind).
